I need to avoid maintaining separate files for each book. Because I am converting files created for print in InDesign, exporting a ePub is my first step. I should also note, I am Mac user.

So, how to edit a mobi file...

4) feeding the opf file to kindlegen
I am going to try mobiunpack now, but what tweaks are needed for the ncx and opf files? And does only the opf file go into kindlegen? Any other mobi-editing info I should know?
